After walking for a while, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang silently moved to Tong Yujie’s side.

Yuan Hongjun asked in a low and serious voice, “Why are you staring at my master?”

Bao Linjiang’s eyes darkened. “That’s right. My master is beautiful, but she’s already engaged. Why are you staring at her?”

Tong Yujie was speechless.

After wandering the world for so many years, this was the first time he had seen a disciple who was so protective of his master.

“First of all, I want to clarify that I don’t have any improper thoughts about your master. Secondly, I saw her playing a tune on the leaf to chase away the wild beasts just now. She is very powerful. I’m very curious, so I couldn’t help but stare at her. It’s that simple.”

Yuan Hongjun asked with a hint of threat, “Are you sure?”

Bao Linjiang pinched his fingers and three cold silver needles appeared in his hand. He waved them in front of Tong Yujie. “If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I’ll definitely cripple you!”

Tong Yujie raised his hand. “I’m sure. I won’t have any thoughts I shouldn’t have.”

These two young men were not to be underestimated. Their medical skills were superb. If they really attacked him, it was really hard to say what the outcome would be.

After achieving their goal, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang ended their temporary alliance and became sworn enemies again.

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard their words. However, she was quite happy that her two little disciples were protecting her.

Ning Yuting looked at the two young men. He did not expect the arrogant two to place Chu Qingzhi in such an important position. It was surprising.

Tong Yujie smiled bitterly and followed.

Chu Qingning suddenly pointed ahead and said loudly, “Fifth Sister, that looks like Lingzhi.”

The few of them quickly walked forward.

Yuan Hongjun gestured excitedly at the lingzhi. “This lingzhi is the size of two palms. It’s more than ten years old.”

Bao Linjiang glanced at Yuan Hongjun and habitually bickered. “Oh, you think you are smart? I think it’s only eight or nine years.”

Yuan Hongjun retorted, “Get lost. I don’t want to talk to you. It will affect my mood.”

Bao Linjiang was unconvinced. “Master, how old do you think this Lingzhi is?”

“There’s a very simple way to tell the age of a lingzhi, which is to weigh it. For a lingzhi to weigh one catty, it will take at least seven years.”

Bao Linjiang said in admiration, “Master is the best.”

Yuan Hongjun muttered, “Bootlicker!”

Chu Qingzhi ignored the two bickering young men and said to Chu Qingning, “Fourth Sister, go pick some leaves and place them on the bottom of the basket. 1’11 dig up the lingzhi together with soil. I might be able to cultivate Lingzhi.” Chu Qingning said in surprise, “Really?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “We can try. It doesn’t cost anything anyway.”

Chu Qingning said, “Alright, i’ll go pick the leaves immediately.”

Tong Yujie held his sword horizontally and leaned against the tree trunk. He looked at Chu Qingzhi and the rest lazily.

Ning Yuting stood at the side with his arms crossed. He looked at Tong Yujie and thought for a moment before asking, “I wonder where Young Master Tong is from?”

Tong Yujie kept looking in Chu Qingzhi’s direction. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Ning Yuting’s tone became stern. “If you don’t want to tell, please leave. Qingzhi is just a farm girl. Don’t hurt her.”

Tong Yujie smiled and said unhurriedly, “You want to be her guardian too?”

Ning Yuting was caught off guard and panicked slightly. “Don’t talk nonsense. There’s no such thing.” contemporary romance

Tong Yujie did not care about what Ning Yuting thought at all. “Then you’d better keep your mouth shut, Young Master Ning.” There was a faint warning in his voice.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang surrounded Chu Qingzhi and watched her pick lingzhi. Bao Linjiang couldn’t help but ask, “Master, can you really cultivate lingzhi after removing it from the soil?”

“There’s a 70% chance.”

Yuan Hongjun said with great interest, “Master, when are you going to cultivate it? 1 want to see.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “When we go back later, I’ll cultivate the Lingzhi in the herb garden. You can follow and watch.”

Chu Qingning carried the basket over. “Fifth Sister, do you think this is okay?”

There were three layers of leaves in the basket, so the soil would not leak out.

Chu Qingzhi looked at it and said, “It’s good.”

After putting the lingzhi and lingzhi soil in the basket, the few of them continued forward.

“Knotweed!” Yuan Hongjun quickly stepped forward. Suddenly, he tilted his body and flicked the silver needles in his hand. A colorful snake fell to the ground. Three silver needles pierced through the sneak head.

Chu Qingning was shocked and covered her thumping chest. “That was close.”

Chu Qingzhi pulled Chu Qingning to her side. “Fourth Sister, don’t be too far away from me.”

“Ok.”

“This snake’s gallbladder is good stuff. The meat is not bad either.” Bao Linjiang went forward and pierced the snake head with a silver needle. The snake struggled twice and died completely. He put it in his basket.

Yuan Hongjun was speechless. Shouldn’t the snake be put into his basket since he was the one who killed it?

Bao Linjiang ignored Yuan Hongjun’s resentful gaze. “Hurry up and dig up the knotweed,” he said. “No one has been to this part of the forest before. There are so many good herbs.”

They dug out half a catty of knotweed. The gain was quite good.

The group continued to walk deeper. The environment became quieter, and there was a hint of danger in the air.

Then, the few of them dug up some medicinal herbs, but there were no hops that Chu Qingzhi wanted.

She couldn’t help but wonder. Could it be that there weren’t any hops?

Just as she was feeling discouraged, the smell of hops entered her nose. This made her excited.

“Roar…” The painful roar of a tiger was heard.

Tong Yujie flew to the front with light steps and shouted, “Squat down!”

Then, the roar of another tiger could be heard. This roar was filled with anger, helplessness, and sadness…

Chu Qingzhi moved to the front.

Tong Yujie wanted to reach out and pull Chu Qingzhi back, but Chu Qingzhi nimbly dodged him. “Nothing will happen. Don’t worry.”

Tong Yujie clenched his fists and retracted his hand..
